Refugees in Canada

Year Adopted:
BACKGROUND Because of its northern climate Canada did not, in earlier days, have the powerful attraction exerted by the United States. During the 19th century, it had to advertise in European papers for immigrants and promised them travel bonuses.

On United Nations

Year Adopted:
We record with deep satisfaction and great appreciation the increasing prestige and growing effectiveness of the United Nations as an instrument for the establishment of One World.

International Trade

Background Globalization involves the increasing integration of economies across national borders, affecting goods and services, as well as ideas, information, and technology.

Holland and the Energy Crisis

Year Adopted:
We salute the brave people of the Netherlands for demonstrating to the world once again their exceptional national character of dignity and moral courage in resisting Arab oil pressure and blackmail directed against them.

Human Rights

Year Adopted:
The spiritual mandate of our prophetic Judaism compels us to translate into reality the sacred idea of the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. Judaism not only condemns all racial bigotry; it affirms the belief in the sanctity of man created in the image of God.
